1st Time at regionals. used Rey & Miranda

By Deadfool, in X-Wing Battle Reports

Played at the regional hosted by IQ games in Huddersfield (UK), my aim was to get one win, used this squad:

Rey - trick shot, Finn, Kanan, Signor Loop title,

Miranda - homing missiles, cluster mines, guidance chips, extra munitions, TTL

Game 1. Played against two shadow casters, came down to one of them on 2 hull and Miranda on 3 hull at range one. Got tractored onto a rock, no shot and got killed. 72-100 lose

Game 2. Got Cormac and his two arcs. Not much to tell. 0-100 lose.

Game 3. Shadowcaster (ventress maybe?) and 2 TLT Y wings, accidentally flew a heavily damaged Rey off the board trying to pull off an S loop and 180 turn. Got picked apart by the two TLTs. 0-100 lose

Game 4. Bossok party bus and an arc, things went really well. Rey chased each ship around at close range landing 4-5 hits a turn. I won 100-2!

Game 5. Trip defenders, everything went bad! Landed a homing missile and didn't even knock a shield off, flew an undamaged Miranda off the board by the barest mm of base! 0-100 lose

Games 6. Ghost and two ghost squadron K wings with TLTs. Killed the Ghost really early, Miranda managed to drop a cluster mine right across its base! Sadly she died after that and the K wings split up so Rey could only keep one in arc and she got picked apart by the TLTs. 71-100 lose.

I really enjoyed Reys offensive out put, with a focus I was regularly get 4 or 5 hits, but her defence is weak especially out of arc and no shield regen.

The event was really good and well hosted.

You probably should have won the first game. Tractor beams cannot move large ships, only small ships.

Oops, that should say Miranda. But I think he moved me using a forward bank template which I found out after you can't.

How was the ghost you flew against in the last round equipped?

Pretty hazy recollection, think it was Kenan with Zeb, autocannon and accuracy corrector, no shuttle.

Well done for first tourney, it's always rougher than you expect. I've been working on Rey lists myself and although not a glass cannon she does not have tons of defense so it's like you have to be effective with her because her large damage reserves won't last too long.

Sounds fun. I played against rey for the first time recently she had the same finn/kanan/new falcon setup and that hits pretty hard and the guy actually pulled off some good defense w/rey's ability and the finn dice. It was satisfying to see a falcon melt to sustained fire tho, not like the old fat han super tank builds.
